Pennsylvania ouartette.

Pennsylvania Quartette.
The concert by the Pennsylvania Quar-
tette, at Holcombe Hall, last Wednesday
evening, was one of the best ever given
in this city. Every member is a Guilt
waited vocalist, and the parts were well
balanced and blended perfectly. Miss
Marie Stevenson, the soprano, is favor
ite in Lambertville, having sung here on
former occasions. She has clear, strong,
flexible voice, under perfect command. =
Miss Josephine Richardson, contralto, has
beautiful voice, of a pure round quality
seldom heard. Il reaches very low. and
its thorough cultivation enables her to
bring out some fine effects both IN
solos and duets. Mr. II. Albert Darby,
possesses rare tenor voice of fine COM
pass, tone aud flexibility. Mr.. d Gordon
Thomas, basso, has excellent command of
his voice, which is powerful aud rich, and
wilhal he puts people in good humor by a
certain semiconccaled iollity of tempera-
ment. Miss Florence Schmidt, pianist, is
a player who has fac reputation, and
she played finely, out unfortunately the
piano was in bad condition and she could
not do justice to herself. Wherever the
Pennsylvania Quartette sing their patrons
may reel sure Of refined, varied aud ex.
cellent entertainment.

BEAUTY DYING OUT.
A Statement Calculated to Cause
CONSERVATION Among Ladies.

A question much discussed in parlors
and clubs is whether beauty is dying
out. Three propositions appear to be
very generally accepted: First, that
beauty among women and young girls
in the larger cities is rarer than five to
ten years ago; second, that ugly women
are more numerous, and third, that the
higher and more exclusive the circle,
the more fashionable and elegant the
surroundings, the less, as a rule, the
| physical attractiyeness of the women.
| Opinions differ as to the cause or causes,
| for there are probably many, but in the
main it seems TO be agreed that the
luxuries and highly artificial manner
OF living, so much in vogue, and the
wear and tear OF prevailing fashionable
dissipation, are much to blame for the
result That there is great decadence
in physical attractiveness among the
young women and girls just entering
WON anhood in the cities cannot be
doubted. Take the most popular
thoroughfares, the theatres and tt Q
great public gatherings, such as balls,
and how rare is genuinely pretty girl
or beautiful woman.
There is nothing scarcer at the pres
ent moment than beauty, and with its
scarcity has come liVelier and more
general appreciation of it. A new
American beauty, or a fresh importa-
ton of beauty from anywhere, sets Lon
don, the fashionable metropolis of the
world, in hutter. All through the
summer season, the leading topic of con-
versation at Newport and the subject OF
every correspondents pen from there,
were the two acknowledged beauties of
the place. at every watering place and
resort, the prese nee or absence of beau
ties was the point on which everything
turned. The beauties of nature at
Mount Desert were never heard of until
the beauties OF society began going
there, and what has made it the great
est resort of the past two seasons has
been that there were more beautiful
women there than anywhere else.
The effects of the rapid life now led,
which uses up girl in a store in about
a year, and makes almost every attrac-
tive girl at school wreck before she is
graduated, are nowhere SO startling
as in social life. The beauties" that
are chr. nicled and so much talked
about as coming out at the assembly, or
making a stir the first season at some
watering place, are never heard of the
season after. The reason is that they
cease to be beauties. If a list should be
made of ladies who during the past
eight years have been chronlcled in the
society columns as "besuties," and
justly so. because they were so &C
knowledged at the time, but who are
rarely noticed now and every one of
them still unmarried, il would fill a
good fat column. One of the troubles
is the tr, III ndous crowding OF so much
and so MANY enjoyments into brief
spac and the burning of the candle at
both ends and the extinguishment of
beauty which 1t implies -Philadelphia

GENIUS In RUINS.
Citizen Train RecOunts His Exploits and
Claims to Be Worth Millions,

WATERvILLE, Mo-, Nov. 17.-Citizen Train,
who is delivering in various towns hereabout
his last address upon American soil before
patriation forever" appeared here last night.
He spoke in his most redundant style He told
of his introduction of Turkish baths into Ire
land, and how the bath had benefited him. He
hadn't sneezed for fourteen years. His grand
father was the Rev. George Pickering, of Mas
sachusetts. He twas sired by the revolution
and damned by the people," He was left alone
and an orphan in New Orleans when four years
old He was labeled and sent to Boston. He
had crossed the Atlantic forty-seven Tunes mad
been three times around the world, and had
seen more through key-holes than most men
in broad daylight" He never drank. gambled,
stole or lied; therefore he called lunatic.
In 1858 he owned ships. He went around the
world in eighty days, and Jules Verne wrote up
the voyage. He laid the first tramways in
England. and had six down before England
knew he was in the country. Then they tore
them up. He checkmated them, however, by
building the Northern Pacific He told of his
astonishing good luck in Omaha lots. He had
5000 lots there, which his private secretary in
forms him are worth $40, 000, 600, and the beauty
of it was he had to pay no interest or taxes. and
his mortgages can't be foreclosed, because the
court had declared him lunatic. He thought
1t paid to be a lunatic.
